Dr. Harrower and Shining Molly: Witnesses and Lovers in 20th Century Psychology

Thursday, Nov 3, 2 - 3 pm Description: Jonathan Swinton will describe the extraordinary papers of the clinical psychologist Dr. Molly Harrower (1906-1999). Her files and letters shed light on diverse topics, including the 20th century professionalization of clinical psychology and the strategies employed by women scientists to manage their lives and careers before the frameworks of 1970s feminism. But beyond this historical narrative is deeply human one, offering a more compelling and multifaceted story than many novels, with poetry, sex, romance, betrayal, ambition, disappointment, and fulfilment. This talk will be held in-person at the Cummings Center and livestreamed here. To attend in-person, please RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/talk-dr-...
